On Saturday, October 11, 2025, tragedy struck when Cariah, the loving mother of 2-year-old Scarlett, passed away suddenly in an accident. Her passing has left a deep void in the lives of those who loved her — especially little Scarlett and her father, Eric, who is now facing life as a full-time single father at just 23 years old.

Eric has always been a devoted father, working hard to give Scarlett a happy and secure childhood. Now, in the midst of grief, Eric is doing everything he can to create stability and continue giving Scarlett the love, care, and opportunities she deserves.

This transition, however, comes with overwhelming emotional and financial challenges. Eric must now balance work, childcare, and the everyday costs of raising a toddler. We’re asking for your help to support Eric and Scarlett as they navigate this heartbreaking time.

Funds raised will go directly toward:

• Childcare and early education

• Everyday living expenses (food, clothing, and essentials)

• A safe and stable home for Scarlett

• Future needs, such as healthcare and developmental support.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help give Scarlett the best start possible and give Eric some breathing room as he adjusts to this new reality. If you are unable to give, please consider sharing this campaign to help spread the word.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for your compassion, kindness, and support for Eric and Scarlett. ❤️
